Prosthetic arm with a bionic hand which detects tactile stimulation and sends that sensory signal to the brain. Neuroscientists have found that people with bionic hands can't seem to retrain the brain ...

FOX LAKE, Ill. (AP) — A bionic thumb has brought back a large part of life for a McHenry man. Adam "Moose" Pringle lost his left thumb in September 2011 when he caught his right arm and left hand in ...

Advances in neuroscience and engineering have generated great hope for Luke Skywalker-like prosthetics: robotic devices that are almost indistinguishable from a human limb. Key to solving this ...

The human hand is incredibly complex, so designing a bionic replacement is quite a challenge. There are countless movements and grips that a normal hand needs to make, and that variety is what makes ...

New York, Dec 28 (IANS) In future challenges for developing realistic prosthetic devices, new research has revealed that even after a full year, the bionic touch did not remap the brain in people ...

A team of Boston surgeons and scientists has developed a new approach to amputation. “My dream as a scientist is that a person with an arm amputation could play a Beethoven piece at normal speeds and ...

A new study by neuroscientists demonstrates that the brain does not remap itself even with long-term bionic limb use, posing challenges for the development of realistic prosthetic limbs. Advances in ...
